Ashton Offends Demi
Ashton Kutcher did not recognise Demi Moore the first time he met her.
The 'Punk'd' star - who was introduced to his now wife in a nightclub by a mutual friend - says he had no idea it was her when he saw her for the first time.
He said: "I knew who Demi Moore was but I didn't recognise the woman I was looking at.
"My celebrity radar is really bad. I remember that Owen Wilson was there too that night. I recognised him!"
The handsome actor says he did not fall for the 'Charlie's Angels' beauty straight away because he was interested in another woman that night.
The 28-year-old, who dated Brittany Murphy and Nelly Furtado before he married Demi in 2004, said: "I was into some other girl that night. My focus was hooking up with somebody else."

Gay VS Gay: Lance Bass' Ex ues Perez Hilton!
LANCE BASS' ex-boyfriend REICHEN LEHMKUHL is suing internet gossip blogger PEREZ HILTON for writing unflattering statements about him.
Reality TV star Lehmkuhl posted a message on his official website slamming the rumours and claims he decided to sue after he received encouragement from others who have been targets of the same website.
In a message posted on his website yesterday (21DEC06) he says celebrities and their lawyers contacted him regarding a class action lawsuit against Hilton, real name MARIO LAVANDEIRA.
He explains, "It is not clear how the lawsuit will be structured, but we are committed...the goal of the lawsuit is to result in the stopping of your name being used in connection with untruths and gossip on the internet that obviously damage/ruin your name/reputation and lessen your ability to be successful in your profession."
Lavandeira has hit back at the claims saying, "Now that he can't comfortably ride Lance Bass' coattails, this is Reichen's latest transparent attempt to get publicity for himself. I applaud him."
This is just the latest threat of legal action against Lavandeira - he is currently being sued for $7.5 million (£3.8 million) by photo agencies for using their pictures without permission.

Trump vs Rosie - Is it All For Publicity?
It's war! Or, is it promotion? You be the judge.
Donald Trump went on a public tirade yesterday, blasting Rosie O'Donnell from one channel to the next, while appearing on no fewer than five separate Fox News Channel broadcasts. But when the Trumpster speaks this loudly, there's a fair question to be asked: What Trump-hosted show is coming up?
Season six of "The Apprentice" bows Jan. 7, and while Trump mentioned the show no where during his on-air anti-Rosie romp yesterday, that may be immaterial. Trump also got in a much-publicized dust-up with Martha Stewart last February when a Trump-authored letter was leaked to Newsweek, in which Trump called Stewart's performance on her own version of "Apprentice" as "terrible" and "[lacking] mood, temperament and just about everything else a show needs for success." The letter was made public two weeks before the sixth season of "Apprentice" began, and received extensive media coverage as well.
So, Donald, what's the deal? Trump couldn't be reached for comment late yesterday, but his spokesman, Jim Dowd, said yesterday his anger was genuine, while confirming that Trump's lawyers had sent a warning letter to "The View" executive producer. Dowd added that Trump watched yesterday's edition of "The View:" "He was ready for the next step and then said, 'she backed down. I won."
During the show, O'Donnell cracked a couple of jokes - including the much-quoted line about her being "afraid to leave" home in case "someone with a combover came over and stole" her companion, Kelli Carpenter. (Carpenter also happened to be in the audience.) The turning to the camera, said she: "Here's my comment to him," and smirked.
Meanwhile, it just got stranger and stranger. Reacting to O'Donnell's anti-Trump rant on the Dec. 20 "View," Trump fired first yesterday on a Los Angeles morning show: "Ultimately, Rosie is a loser, and ultimately ["The View"] will fail because of Rosie. ... Barbara [Walters] made a mistake and let me tell you something, Barbara's a good friend of mine. She cannot stand Rosie O'Donnell." (Walters stayed above the fray, releasing her own statement, saying in part, "we cherish them both and hope the new year brings them calm and peace."
Appearing later on Fox News Channel's "The Big Show," Trump told host John Gibson, "I never went bankrupt, but more importantly, I was on the cover of Forbes Magazine recently. I don't want to talk abut money but I'm worth many billions of dollars." He added, "somebody had to stand up to her and I had a little bit of free time before Christmas."
And on her blog, Rosie wrote this: "i will let you know if the donald sues me/or if kelli leaves me for one of his pals/don't u find him charming."

Sienna Miller Loses Weight by Drinking VODKA!
Sienna Miller went on a vodka diet to lose weight for her latest film.
The slim 24-year-old actress had to get down to a controversial size 0 for her role as Edie Sedgwick in new movie 'Factory Girl'.
Sedgwick was revered artist Andy Warhol's muse and an 'It' girl of the mid-60s, who was addicted to drugs and suffered from depression and bulimia.
So Sienna, who recently split for good from her sometime boyfriend Jude Law, resorted to drastic measures to make sure she accurately resembled her troubled character.
She is quoted as saying: "I decided to drink vodka instead of wine because it has less calories."
Another of her sliming techniques was to eat omelettes made only of egg whites.

Tawny Kitaen Cocaine Chages
TMZ has learned actress Tawny Kitaen struck a deal today in her cocaine possession case.
Prosecutors in Orange County, Calif. have agreed to drop felony drug charges against Kitaen, provided she completes a drug rehab program.
The 45-year-old actress, best known for starring in the 80's hit film "Bachelor Party" and Whitesnake videos, was charged with felony drug possession after Orange County Sheriff's Deputies allegedly found 15 grams of cocaine in her house last May, after responding to an anonymous call asking cops to check on her children.
We're told that after the incident, Kitaen immediately entered rehab, which she will complete in June. At that time, all charges will be formally dropped.
Kitaen is represented by high-powered celebrity attorney Blair Berk, who also handled cases for Mel Gibson, Halle Berry and Reese Witherspoon.

Britney Ditches Paris FOR GOOD
Could it be that the toxic twins – Britney and Paris – are BFFs no more?
The dynamic panty-free duo have gone their separate ways, says Page Six. After a couple frantic weeks of late-night debauchery and flashbulb-exploding exhibitionism, the pair's friendship has cooled. "Britney has been told by her people that if she ever wants a comeback, she has to stay far away from Paris and start acting like an adult," says a source.
Indeed, TMZ has spotted Paris recently getting back to her usual party posse, including Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis, sister Nicky, and friend-accessory Kim Kardashian. Meanwhile, Britney has been digging in at the studio and stepping out with music producer J.R. Rotem.

Miss USA to GIVE BACK Crown?
TMZ has learned that officials from the Miss USA pageant will make a "major announcement" today and may strip reigning Miss USA Tara Conner of her title due to inappropriate behavior.
Sources tell TMZ that executives from the Miss USA organization and NBC (which broadcasts the pageant) met Tuesday to discuss Conner and alleged incidents of her inappropriate behavior, including her conduct at New York City bars. While no one from the pageant would comment on the rumored troubles, several sources tell TMZ that a big announcement is expected some time Thursday. According to these sources, officials are extremely unhappy with the current Miss USA's conduct in public.
Pageant rules say that if Connor is removed, first runner-up Miss California Tamiko Nash will assume the duties of Miss USA and complete the remainder of the beauty queen's reign. When TMZ contacted a rep for Nash, we were told they could "neither confirm nor deny" that she would be taking over the title.
Twenty-year-old Conner, who hails from Russell Springs, Kentucky, was crowned Miss USA in April of 2006. As part of her duties Connor often takes part in high profile media events. She recently boarded the Black Pearl for a "Pirates of the Caribbean" promotion in Baltimore.
TMZ contacted the NBC publicist, we traded phone calls but were unable to get any official comment.

Peter Boyle Dies - Everybody Loves Raymond
Everybody Loves Raymond has been one of my favorite shows for many, many year, so was very sad to hear about the passing of "Rays Dad", Frank.
Peter Boyle, the actor who played the hilariously grouchy father on "Everybody Loves Raymond" as the final note of a distinguished career that also included a memorable role in Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein," has died. He was 71.
Boyle died Tuesday evening at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He had been suffering from multiple myeloma and heart disease, said his publicist, Jennifer Plante.
"I am deeply saddened by the passing of Peter Boyle," Ray Romano said, adding that Boyle was a mentor to him from the early days of "Everybody Loves Raymond."
"He gave me great advice, he always made me laugh, and the way he connected with everyone around him amazed me. The fact that he could play a convincing curmudgeon on the show, but in reality be such a compassionate and thoughtful person, is a true testament to his talent," Romano said.
"It's like losing a spouse," said Doris Roberts, who played Boyle's wife on the sitcom.
While a generation of TV viewers knows him as Frank Barone -- with his trademark "Holy crap!" line -- Boyle had a respectable career long before "Everybody Loves Raymond" debuted in 1996, including a part in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver." He also was close friends with John Lennon, who was best man at Boyle's wedding.
A member of the Christian Brothers religious order who turned to acting, the tall, prematurely balding Boyle gained notice in the title role of the 1970 sleeper hit "Joe," playing an angry, murderous bigot at odds with the emerging hippie youth culture.
Briefly typecast in tough, irate roles, Boyle began to escape the image as Robert Redford's campaign manager in "The Candidate" and left it behind entirely after "Young Frankenstein," Brooks' 1974 send-up of horror films.
The latter movie's defining moment came when Gene Wilder, as scientist Frederick Frankenstein, introduced his creation to an upscale audience. Boyle, decked out in tails, performed a song-and-dance routine to the Irving Berlin classic "Puttin' On the Ritz."
It showed another side of Boyle, one that would be best exploited in "Raymond" as the curmudgeonly Frank Barone.
"He's just obnoxious in a nice way, just for laughs," Boyle said of the character in a 2001 interview. "It's a very sweet experience having this (success) happen at a time when you basically go back over your life and see every mistake you ever made."
When Boyle tried out for the role opposite Romano's Ray Barone, however, he was kept waiting for his audition -- and he was not happy.
"He came in all hot and angry," recalled the show's creator, Phil Rosenthal, "and I hired him because I was afraid of him." But Rosenthal also noted: "I knew right away that he had a comic presence."
Patricia Heaton, who played Boyle's daughter-in-law in "Raymond," said in a statement, "Peter was an incredible man who made all of us who had the privilege of working with him aspire to be better actors. ... He was loved by everyone that knew him and loved by his many fans who cherished his talent."
"I've lost an amazing friend and colleague," said Brad Garrett, who played Boyle's son Robert on the sitcom. "Being able to share nine years with Peter on 'Raymond' and witness his talent and humanity was an honor."
Boyle had first come to the public's attention more than a quarter of a century before "Raymond," in the critically acclaimed "Joe." He met his wife, Loraine Alterman, on the set of "Young Frankenstein" when she visited as a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine and Boyle, still in monster makeup, asked her for a date.
On television, he starred in "Joe Bash," an acclaimed but short-lived 1986 "dramedy" in which he played a lonely beat cop. He won an Emmy in 1996 for his guest-starring role in an episode of "The X Files," and was nominated for "Raymond" and for the 1977 TV film "Tail Gunner Joe," in which he played Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
In the 1976 film "Taxi Driver," he was the cabbie-philosopher Wizard, who counseled Robert De Niro's violent Travis Bickle.
He appeared in dozens of other films, including "T.R. Baskin," "F.I.S.T.," "Johnny Dangerously," "The Dream Team," "Monster's Ball," "The Santa Clause," "The Santa Clause 2" and "While You Were Sleeping."
The son of a local TV personality in Philadelphia, Boyle was educated in Roman Catholic schools and spent three years in a monastery before abandoning his religious studies. He later described the experience as similar to "living in the Middle Ages."
He explained his decision to leave in 1991: "I felt the call for awhile; then I felt the normal pull of the world and the flesh."
He traveled to New York to study with legendary actress Uta Hagen, supporting himself for five years with various jobs, including postal worker, waiter, maitre d' and office temp. Finally, he was cast in a road company version of "The Odd Couple." When the play reached Chicago he quit to study with that city's famed improvisational troupe Second City.
Upon returning to New York, he began to land roles in TV commercials, off-Broadway plays and finally films.
Through his wife, a friend of Yoko Ono, the actor became close friends with Lennon. "We were both seekers after a truth, looking for a quick way to enlightenment," Boyle once said of Lennon.
In 1990, Boyle had a stroke and couldn't talk for six months. In 1999, he had a heart attack on the "Raymond" set. He soon regained his health, however, and returned to the series.
Despite his work in "Everybody Loves Raymond" and other Hollywood productions, Boyle made New York City his home. He and his wife had two daughters, Lucy and Amy.

Boyle died Tuesday evening at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He had been suffering from multiple myeloma and heart disease, said his publicist, Jennifer Plante.
"I am deeply saddened by the passing of Peter Boyle," Ray Romano said, adding that Boyle was a mentor to him from the early days of "Everybody Loves Raymond."
"He gave me great advice, he always made me laugh, and the way he connected with everyone around him amazed me. The fact that he could play a convincing curmudgeon on the show, but in reality be such a compassionate and thoughtful person, is a true testament to his talent," Romano said.
"It's like losing a spouse," said Doris Roberts, who played Boyle's wife on the sitcom.
While a generation of TV viewers knows him as Frank Barone -- with his trademark "Holy crap!" line -- Boyle had a respectable career long before "Everybody Loves Raymond" debuted in 1996, including a part in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver." He also was close friends with John Lennon, who was best man at Boyle's wedding.
A member of the Christian Brothers religious order who turned to acting, the tall, prematurely balding Boyle gained notice in the title role of the 1970 sleeper hit "Joe," playing an angry, murderous bigot at odds with the emerging hippie youth culture.
Briefly typecast in tough, irate roles, Boyle began to escape the image as Robert Redford's campaign manager in "The Candidate" and left it behind entirely after "Young Frankenstein," Brooks' 1974 send-up of horror films.
The latter movie's defining moment came when Gene Wilder, as scientist Frederick Frankenstein, introduced his creation to an upscale audience. Boyle, decked out in tails, performed a song-and-dance routine to the Irving Berlin classic "Puttin' On the Ritz."
It showed another side of Boyle, one that would be best exploited in "Raymond" as the curmudgeonly Frank Barone.
"He's just obnoxious in a nice way, just for laughs," Boyle said of the character in a 2001 interview. "It's a very sweet experience having this (success) happen at a time when you basically go back over your life and see every mistake you ever made."
When Boyle tried out for the role opposite Romano's Ray Barone, however, he was kept waiting for his audition -- and he was not happy.
"He came in all hot and angry," recalled the show's creator, Phil Rosenthal, "and I hired him because I was afraid of him." But Rosenthal also noted: "I knew right away that he had a comic presence."
Patricia Heaton, who played Boyle's daughter-in-law in "Raymond," said in a statement, "Peter was an incredible man who made all of us who had the privilege of working with him aspire to be better actors. ... He was loved by everyone that knew him and loved by his many fans who cherished his talent."
"I've lost an amazing friend and colleague," said Brad Garrett, who played Boyle's son Robert on the sitcom. "Being able to share nine years with Peter on 'Raymond' and witness his talent and humanity was an honor."
Boyle had first come to the public's attention more than a quarter of a century before "Raymond," in the critically acclaimed "Joe." He met his wife, Loraine Alterman, on the set of "Young Frankenstein" when she visited as a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine and Boyle, still in monster makeup, asked her for a date.
On television, he starred in "Joe Bash," an acclaimed but short-lived 1986 "dramedy" in which he played a lonely beat cop. He won an Emmy in 1996 for his guest-starring role in an episode of "The X Files," and was nominated for "Raymond" and for the 1977 TV film "Tail Gunner Joe," in which he played Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
In the 1976 film "Taxi Driver," he was the cabbie-philosopher Wizard, who counseled Robert De Niro's violent Travis Bickle.
He appeared in dozens of other films, including "T.R. Baskin," "F.I.S.T.," "Johnny Dangerously," "The Dream Team," "Monster's Ball," "The Santa Clause," "The Santa Clause 2" and "While You Were Sleeping."
The son of a local TV personality in Philadelphia, Boyle was educated in Roman Catholic schools and spent three years in a monastery before abandoning his religious studies. He later described the experience as similar to "living in the Middle Ages."
He explained his decision to leave in 1991: "I felt the call for awhile; then I felt the normal pull of the world and the flesh."
He traveled to New York to study with legendary actress Uta Hagen, supporting himself for five years with various jobs, including postal worker, waiter, maitre d' and office temp. Finally, he was cast in a road company version of "The Odd Couple." When the play reached Chicago he quit to study with that city's famed improvisational troupe Second City.
Upon returning to New York, he began to land roles in TV commercials, off-Broadway plays and finally films.
Through his wife, a friend of Yoko Ono, the actor became close friends with Lennon. "We were both seekers after a truth, looking for a quick way to enlightenment," Boyle once said of Lennon.
In 1990, Boyle had a stroke and couldn't talk for six months. In 1999, he had a heart attack on the "Raymond" set. He soon regained his health, however, and returned to the series.
Despite his work in "Everybody Loves Raymond" and other Hollywood productions, Boyle made New York City his home. He and his wife had two daughters, Lucy and Amy.

Terrell Owens Smells a "Snitch"
Wht has been going on with TO lately? Whats the cause for all of his blunders in rescent news? Could it be...a snitch? That's what he's claiming!
Owens remains upset that someone within the organization has been airing his dirty laundry. It started with a preseason report about him being late to work and continued with the story about a problem that causes him to fall asleep in meetings.
Those things happened earlier this season, but the bitterness lingers. Owens told ESPN in an interview that aired Sunday that he was "faking it" in practice because he was so frustrated, and he explained himself much further in a nearly half-hour interview in front of his locker Wednesday.
Describing his tumultuous early season, which also included a hamstring injury in training camp and a broken hand that led to an "accidental overdose" on painkillers, Owens said: "I just felt like I was out there, just out there. I didn't feel like I was a part of the team."
"One of the coaches came to me after one game and I just told him I felt alone in this locker room. That's how I felt at that time. It was weighing a lot on my mind during the course of the game. My mind really wasn't clear to play football."
T.O.'s season has followed the same arc as the team's record. He was mediocre early, then began putting up big numbers when Tony Romo replaced Drew Bledsoe at quarterback, a move that led to a 5-1 streak. Dallas is now 8-5 and leading the NFC East going into a game at Atlanta on Saturday night.
"Winning cures a lot of things," Owens said.
Despite all that's happened, Owens said he is happy enough that he could envision finishing his career with the Cowboys.
"Oh, yeah, I definitely would," he said. "Unless somebody knows something I don't know. ... I mean, I don't see any reason not to, you know what I mean?"
Well, there is that snitch still lurking.
"Yeah, that's my main part of frustration," he said. "It's like, you want to be part of this team and feel part of it, but it's hard to do that when you feel like there are guys you feel like you don't trust. It's just not happening."
Although he has an idea who is snitching, Owens said he won't confront the suspect until "the time is right."
"Not right now," he said.
If it bothers him so much that he told a national audience he was tempted to slack off in practice or a game, then why not?
"It wouldn't be nothing but a big distraction," he said. "I just let it be. ... At this point, it's not something to really address. Like I said, I kind of have my hunches. But it's nothing that I'm really dwelling on right now. Just letting it go, trying to play football. That's it."

Pam Anderson: Christmas Without Kid is Fine!
We've all heard about the break up betwen Kid and Pam. But how is Pam holding up? Aparrently, she'll be ok. She's all ready made Christmas plans for her family:
Pamela Anderson is taking her children snowboarding this Christmas.
The former 'Baywatch' star, who has filed for divorce from husband Kid Rock after only five months of marriage, is planning the special trip because the hot weather in California where she lives doesn't make her feel festive.
Pammie writes on her personal website: "I'm looking forward to Christmas. I've been at home decorating with the kids all week - lots of baking.
"It's beautiful and I can't wait to take kids snowboarding soon. I miss the snow, that's one thing about California weather at Christmas time, but at least we have a little rain."
The 'Blonde and Blonder' actress has also revealed that she has been encouraging her sons - Brandon, ten, and Dylan, eight, both from her failed marriage to rocker Tommy Lee - to give their unwanted belongings to charity in time for Christmas.
She adds: "My kids have gone thru their toys and clothes and gave a lot of stuff to shelters to make some room for Santa. It's a great tradition of ours."
Pamela is determined to enjoy the festive season and is trying not to think about her split from Rock too much.

Britney Admits to "Going to Far" This Time
NEW YORK -- After igniting a media firestorm by flashing her apparent lack of underwear to the paparazzi, Britney Spears is finally talking. "It's been so long since I've been out on the town with friends," the singer writes in a posting Thursday on her Web site.
"It's also been 2 years since I've even celebrated my birthday. Every move I make at this point has been magnified more than I expected, and I probably did take my new found freedom a little too far. Anyway, thank God for Victoria's Secrets' new underwear line! I look forward to a new year, new music and a new me."
Spears, the mother of two young sons, celebrated her 25th birthday on Dec. 2. She has been unleashing her inner wild child since filing for divorce last month from Kevin Federline, her husband of two years.
Her recent nights out with party girls Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan -- and those uncensored, R-rated crotch shots that were splashed across the Web -- drew disapproval from her fans and other Spears watchers.
Spears and Federline, 28, have a 1-year-old son, Sean Preston, and an infant son, Jayden James, who was born Sept. 12. Spears is seeking custody of both children, with visitation rights for Federline.
Federline, an aspiring rapper, is seeking spousal support and sole custody of his sons with Spears.

Evel Knievel HATES Kanye West
TAMPA, Fla. --Evel Knievel has sued Kanye West, taking issue with a music video in which the rapper takes on the persona of "Evel Kanyevel" and tries to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle over a canyon.
Knievel, whose real name is Robert Craig Knievel, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Tampa on Monday claiming infringement on his trademark name and likeness. He also claims the "vulgar and offensive" images depicted in the video damage his reputation.
"That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public," the 68-year-old daredevil said Tuesday.
A spokesman for West said the 28-year-old rapper no comment. The lawsuit seeks damages and to halt distribution of the video.
In the video for "Touch the Sky," released earlier this year, West dons the familiar Knievel star-studded jumpsuit and jumps a canyon in a vehicle "visually indistinguishable" from the one used by Knievel in his failed attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in Idaho in 1974, the lawsuit said.
The video, which features Pamela Anderson as West's girlfriend, contains "vulgar and offensive sexual images, language and conduct involving `Evel Kanyevel' and women apparently trying to gain his sexual interest," according to the lawsuit.
"The guy just went too far using me to promote his filth to the world," said Knievel, who lives in Clearwater and has been in poor health in recent years. "I'm not in any way that kind of a person."
The lawsuit also names Roc-A-Fella Records, video director Chris Milk and AOL for distributing it.
West was so disappointed at not winning best video for "Touch the Sky" at the MTV Europe Music Awards last month that he crashed the stage when it was presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends."
In a tirade riddled with expletives, West said he should have won the prize because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."
Knievel failed spectacularly in the 1974 jump. He was secured inside the cockpit and the Sky-Cycle was fired up. But his parachute opened just as he cleared the ramp. After soaring about 1,000 feet, he wound up landing about 20 feet from the river on the rocky south bank. He sustained only scrapes and bruises.
In the video, West's vehicle crashes to the bottom of the canyon in flames.

Angelina Wants to Confront Aniston in Person
For those of you who have already purchased your wedding gifts for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, or believed any of those revived marriage rumors, you might want to head on back to the store. In an interview for January's Vogue Magazine, Jolie reveals that she still has no plans on marrying that hunky Brad Pitt. She told Vogue, "We've both been married before, so it's not marriage that necessarily kept some people together. We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that's the most important thing."
In more exciting news, Jolie finally talked about the beginning of her relationship to Pitt. She told Vogue, "I didn't know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life [when they met on the set of "Smith"]. But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects." Jolie said that during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, she and Pitt shared "a close emotional bond" and that it was only at the end of filming that Jolie says the two realized they had a lot bigger issues than just being co-stars to tackle. She adds, "And it took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe," Jolie said. "And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration." Even with this admission, Jolie still swears up and down that she and Pitt remained buddies until his split with Aniston became official telling Vogue, "Not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe." "We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things." "And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends - with this realization - for a long time." "And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do."
The best part of the interview is when Jolie says she would be open to sitting down and talking with Jennifer Aniston, but only if Jen was the one to do the inviting. She said, "I did [once meet Aniston], but it was not a proper meeting. We've, like, passed each other and said 'hi' briefly, shook hands. But not a real sit-down-and-talk kind of meeting." "That would be her decision [for a long sit-down], and I would welcome it."

Timberlake Confronts Murderer!
Timberlake Meets Killer.... Justin Timberlake came face to face with a real-life murderer when he researched his new movie Alpha Dog, because director Nick Cassavetes insisted he met the man his character is based on.
Timberlake's character, Frankie Ballenbacher, is based on a jailed killer responsible for the 2000 kidnap and slaying of Nicholas Markowitz.
The pop star spent time with the murderer and discovered he's just a guy who made a very bad decision.
The Cry Me A River singer says, "Nick and I travelled to upstate California and I sat down with him at the prison and spoke to him for a couple of hours.
"You're talking about someone who for four years had been in a penitentiary and was serving a life sentence. I don't think he had any perspective on me playing him.
"He was a person who was very misunderstood and very remorseful, but you get one life to do things right and he didn't."

"He was a person who was very misunderstood and very remorseful, but you get one life to do things right and he didn't."

Big Brothers Mikey's Ebay Auctions Failing!
According to the latest tabloids, Big Brother 7's Mikey Dalton is trying to flog his BB tennis trophy on the auction site eBay.
However, unfortunately for him he's only managed to get a couple of bids with the highest one being £6.50.
He bagged the prize as part of a task in this summer's series of the reality TV programme and he's even divulged that he'll scrawl his name on the gong before giving it away, states the Sun newspaper.
Oh dear - poor Mikey, maybe somebody will bid a tenner for it!

GWEN - New Album a Flop?
Gwen Stefani is a woman of many talents. A Grammy Award winner, acclaimed songwriter, fashion designer and occasional actress, the 'Hollerback Girl' singer has proved her many attributes throughout her impressive career.
With her quirky image and happy-go-lucky attitude only Gwen could mix yodeling, rap and pop in her latest hit 'Wind It Up' and get away with it.
Gwen's latest single - produced by hip hop stars Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo - features a prominent hip hop beat, along with a yodeling sample of 'The Lonely Goatherd' from 1965 musical 'The Sound Of Music'.
The song, which marks the 37-year-old's musical comeback after she took time off to have her first baby, reached a respectable Number 7 in US Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
However, the track has received tough criticism from several contemporary pop critics.
It was described as "a musical brain aneurysm" by Billboard music magazine columnist Chuck Taylor, while online entertainment writer Bill Lamb said it "gets high marks for entertainment value but sounds almost like a retread of old ground".

The 37-year-old has moved on since his divorce from Lopez and is now hosting Dance Like We Do, a new reality TV competition based on the classic film Dirty Dancing.

Oasis Brothers Arguing Over Simon Cowell Show
Liam Falls Out With Noel Over X Factor Snub.... Warring Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have fallen out again after Noel refused to let the band appear on the British talent show The X Factor.
Liam is a fan of the Simon Cowell-produced show, and believed their appearance would have boosted sales of their greatest hits album Stop The Clocks - but Wonderwall mastermind Noel flatly refused.
Liam fumes, "We should have done it. The contestants would have been singing Oasis songs. I would have loved that. If Tony Bennett can go on, why can't we?
"We'd have made it to number one in the album charts without a doubt, but our kid (Noel) said no and that was that."
Rod Stewart, Westlife and Lionel Richie have all guest-starred on the show so far, which sees contestants perform one of the artist's songs live on the show.

Puffy Mad About "Sean John" Knock-Offs
Diddy Launches Fight Against Counterfeit Clothing.... Sean 'Diddy' Combs has launched a merchandising war against counterfeit copies of his Sean John Canada fashion line to generate awareness about the country's growing bootleg clothing problem.
Combs' 'Don't Buy A Lie' campaign is an alliance between the hip-hop mogul's fashion label and the Canadian media, celebrities, retailers and consumers to raise the profile of the counterfeit clothes industry.

Eva & Tony -All the Juicy Engagement Details
How did Tony Parker’s Nov. 30 marriage proposal to Eva Longoria go down? “It was a big surprise!” Longoria said.”I was heading home from a long day on the (Desperate Housewives) set. He had been playing in Utah, so I was just shocked to see him in L.A. I thought it was so weird, sort of, ‘Why are you here? What’s going on? Oh my God! It’s happening!’ “
There at Longoria’s home in the early-morning hours, surrounded by rose petals and candles, Parker fell to one knee – “I’m a traditional guy,” he says – and, having already told both of their families, popped the question.
“I cried my eyes out,” says Longoria. “I was mostly touched by how nervous he was. I was like, ‘You know I’m going to say yes. Why are you so nervous?’ But I guess every man gets nervous at that point.”
No way, says Parker: “I knew it was right. We’ve been talking for months about it, and I just knew. It was time.”
And so it went that the Texas-bred actress, 31, and the French-raised San Antonio Spurs point guard, 24, took their two-year relationship to the next level – something they quickly celebrated with close friends, who gathered at Longoria’s L.A. home soon after the proposal.
Beverly Hills jewelry designer Jean Dousset, a friend of the couple, designed Longoria’s five-carat-plus emerald-cut diamond ring with Parker. It boasts an impressive 247 accenting diamonds.
Naturally, it didn’t take the actress long to start spreading the news among her Wisteria Lane neighbors. “Marcia (Cross) and Felicity (Huffman) and I are really, really close,” she says. “Telling them was really exciting.”
Still, Longoria and Parker’s relationship hasn’t been without its speed bumps. Originally, “I was going to ask her (to marry me) in France,” Parker says of an early October trip to basketball training camp that the couple had planned on taking together. “But obviously it wasn’t the right time.”
Instead, Longoria met Parker in Paris a few days after her publicist issued a statement saying the couple were going through “a very difficult time,” citing the pressures of their “extremely demanding careers.”
Today both Parker and Longoria say that reports of a rift were overblown. “Any relationship goes through trials,” says Longoria. “We were working through ours. Tony and my motto has been, ‘Breaking up is not an option.’ ”

Beyonce and Jay-Z Tie the Knot?
Don’t believe the rumors that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are getting married at a luxury Caribbean resort this weekend.A rep for Beyoncé is denying the reports, and a spokeswoman for Jay-Z told Reuters she had no knowledge of any approaching nuptials.
Beyonc̩, 25, recently said that she and pals were planning a birthday party for Jay-Z, who turned 37 on Monday Рnot a wedding, Reuters reports.
But on Wednesday, the New York Post reported that the planned four-day bash was a smokescreen for a secret Caribbean wedding that was to include a ceremony at the Cap Juluca resort on Anguilla and a party aboard a yacht anchored off St. Barts.
Whatever their weekend plans, on Monday Beyoncé is due to appear on the red carpet for the Beverly Hills premiere of her new movie Dreamgirls.
Though the couple of nearly four years don’t speak publicly about their relationship, Beyoncé recently told Elle that her song lyrics about cheating boyfriends don’t reflect her own experience: “I’m sure people will read into that,” she said, “but there’s nothing to read into. Sorry to disappoint you!”

Pam Anderson: "Don't Get Married on Vacation!"
The "Blonde and Blonder" actress tied the knot with the American musician on a yacht in St Tropez in July this year, but has now admitted she may have got carried away in the French sunshine.
She said: "Now that things have calmed down - I think - I just want to say it's great to get back to normal life. We are doing great. Thanks for all the support. Don't get married on vacation!"
Pammy, 39, filed for divorce from Rock, 35, last week, after just four months of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Shortly after their nuptials, which were followed by another two wedding ceremonies, the former "Baywatch" star described the St Tropez service as "the best, most romantic wedding of all time."
Before the separation, Pamela and Rock had been trying for a baby but the actress suffered a miscarriage in November.
She already has two sons, Brandon and Dylan, from her failed marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.

Toby Says "No" to Spiderman 3
The actor is considering hanging up his superhero suit for good after the third film is released next year.
According to movie website Dark Horizons, Tobey said: "'Spider-Man 3' might be a good place to stop - I am not tied contractually to any more Spider-Man movies."
"I am not completely closed to the idea of another one if it made sense but I would say the odds were in favor of this being the last one."
The 31-year-old star is keen to tackle more challenging roles and also wants to spend more time with his family.
He became a father for the first time last month, after his jewelry designer fiancee Jennifer Meyer, 29, gave birth to a daughter, Ruby Jane.
Tobey and Jennifer have been together since 2003 and announced their engagement in April this year. The couple are yet to announce a wedding date.
Tobey isn't the only major star who wants to quit the comic book film series.
His on-screen love interest Kirsten Dunst is also eager to pursue new projects.
She said: "I'm not the type of actress who does movie after movie."

Gwyneth Paltrow - Whats Her Deal?
According to the beloved Defamer, America's fascination with Gwyneth Paltrow seems to have dwindled much in the years since she married the British soft-rocker of her dreams and birthed various produce- and Bible-inspired progeny. Her press coverage has become mostly limited to the basic formula of "Gwyneth Paltrow said snooty thing X," followed soon thereafter by "Gwyneth Paltrow refutes having said snooty thing X; instead said somewhat less snooty thing Y."
The entire media cycle began anew with a recent, widely reported quote ("The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans,"), attributed to the actress and allegedly spoken to a Portuguese journalist. Now comes the second part of the equation:
Gwyneth Paltrow is "deeply upset" over stories claiming she made anti-American remarks, and tells PEOPLE exclusively that she never said anything against her native country.
"I feel so proud to be American...I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued and I never, ever would have said that," says the 34-year-old Oscar winner. [...]
This is what I said. I said that Europe is a much older culture and there's a difference. I always say in America, people live to work and in Europe, people work to live. There are positives in both."
We feel so much better knowing Paltrow is proudly American--as she regularly reminds us with the symbolic visual cue of two, bold war-paint stripes of red and blue smeared across her powder white cheekbone--and that whatever sweeping, tedious generalization she's made most recently about the difference between the location of her cross-Atlantic townhouses and the quality of local nanny care was never meant as a slight to the youthful, work-obsessed exuberance of her native peoples.

Need a Loan? - Sponsored Message
Are you so broke you need a loan asap? Who do you turn to? Mom? Dad? Grandma? Friends? Let me tell you why you shouldn't do this.
About three years ago my cousin approached my grandma asking for a loan of $1,500 for a car. My grandma willing gave him the money under one rule - that he'd pay it back in a timely fashion. Over 8 months passed and she had not gotten a penny of her cash back! Aparerenty my cousin had lost his job and was unable to repay the funds. This cause my grandmother to become very angry. She demanded that he give her the automobile he purchased with her money since he didn't plan to pay her back! It was a bad situation for everybody.
So next time you're considering taking out a family loan, why don't you check in to payday cash advance loans instead?

Eva and Tony get ENGAGED!
Eva Longoria has got engaged to basketball star Tony Parker.
The 31-year-old actress has agreed to marry the 24-year-old San Antonio Spurs player and can't wait to tie the knot.
Eva's representative, Liza Anderson, said: "Eva and Tony are officially engaged. The couple have never been happier."
French-born Tony flew to Los Angeles on Wednesday (29.11.06) and surprised Eva at her home by getting down on one knee and proposing.
Anderson revealed: "The proposal was romantic and perfect."
'Desperate Housewives' star Eva and Tony, who briefly split in September but rekindled their romance during a trip to Paris, plan to marry in France next summer.
They want their forthcoming nuptials to be a "big, happy ceremony with lots of family and friends."
Eva and Tony met in the San Antonio Spurs' locker room in November 2004.
They denied their romance at first, but in August 2005 the brunette actress confirmed they were a couple.
Eva revealed in April that she hoped to stay with Tony "forever".
This will be Tony's first marriage and Eva's second. She divorced 'General Hospital' actor Tyler Christopher in 2004 after two years.

Crowe Gets Ditched
Russell Crowe has been dumped by his publicist.
The actor - famed for his short temper and aggressive outbursts - was "let go" by highly respected public relations guru Robin Baum and must now rely on his acting agency, William Morris and Co, to handle his publicity.
Crowe is considered to be somewhat of a PR liability because of his fiery reputation.
Crowe reportedly recently paid a visit to an emergency room in Sante Fe while filming his new movie '3.10 to Yuma', sparking speculation he may have been involved in yet another bust-up.
However a friend of the actor told the New York Post newspaper: "He wasn't there - the only medical thing Russell has dealt with is finding a local chiropractor."
Last year, the 42-year-old star pleaded guilty to third-degree assault for throwing a phone at a hotel clerk during his stay at New York's Mercer Hotel.
He lost his temper after he had trouble calling his wife, Danielle Spencer, in Australia from his room.
The 'Gladiator' actor recently tried to excuse his temper by saying that violence is acceptable in Australia.
Crowe said: "Where I come from, a confrontation like that, as basic and simple as that, would have been satisfied with a handshake and an apology.
"The US legal system is very open to be misused.
"You got to have a temper. You know what happens when you don't have one? One day you're walking down the street and you just pop."

Russian Beauties - Sponsored Message
Are you a male seeking a real, life long partner but have found yourself feeling hopeless? Are you tired of meeting women in bars or clubs? Do you think that you’re destined to be loney forever? If you feel like this then you need to consider all of your options that you have not even thought about. For example, why is it that you are not meeting quality women? Maybe it’s because you’re looking in the wrong places compleyely. Maybe you’re the kind of man that should consider dating a Russian beauty! Russian and Ukrainian brides are different from brides of other countries because marriage is normally their main priority from early age. Even young Russian women strive to create a family first and only afterwards they think about building a career, not visa versa. Dating someone from a different culture can not only give you a new look at life but it can also make dating actually “fun” again! If this sounds like something you may be interested in, then why not browse the russian personals and see what you think?
50 Cent Calls Oprah Names!
November 30, 2006 -- OPRAH Winfrey is really an Oreo - black on the outside but white on the inside, according to 50 Cent. In the January issue of Elle, the rapper says Winfrey "started out with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American women for so long that she's become one herself. I think the idea of being publicly noted that she's a billionaire makes [black women] interested in seeing her views. But it's even more exciting to the demographic of white American women she's been aiming at to see that she has the exact same views that they have."
